THE Deniocratic Scheme for the con

being persistently and indecently unshed
to its consummation, The Committee on
Contested Seats in the House has agreed
to report iu favor of unseating Wssu
nottNE, the Repo•blican member from
Minnesota, and giving his seat to DON-
N F.1.1.1*, Democrat. Mr. WasnuuttNE was
elected by over three thousand majority,
and there has been no testimony to weak
en the validity of his election. But by
misting him and substituting DoNNEr.t.r,
another delegation in Congress will be
Democratic. Should the House be called
upori to elect the President this change
would give the Democrats the majority
of Stats. This scandalous scheme is part
of the Democratic plan to secure control
of the Government. The 3laine braneli
of the plot came to grief, but this dis
graceful act will probably be successful
through the united votes of the Demo
crats and Cireenbackers„ Our Republi
can friends should heed the plain and un
mistakable signs of the times. The' por
tents are so manifest that their signifi
cance and danger_ shotild stop all petty
disputes and trivial differences in our
rank's, and inspire every patriot with
iiarnest determination
. to sink personal
preferences for the good, of the country..
MERE are fourteen counties in the
State free from debt. !These are Adams,
Bradford, Butler, Centre, Columbia,
Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Lucerne, Mer
cer, Snyder, Susquehanna, Washington
and Westmoreland. This county has
never been in debt. It affairs liav al
ways been prudently and economically
administered, and there has not been any
jobbing or stealing on the part of .those
entrusted with the business, of the coun
ty. The expenses of a county are in 'ra
tio to its size and the number of town
ships and boroughs it contains, of which
it has nearly as many as any county in
the State. The number of.conuty bridges,
and the character of the streams, which are
large and subject to-damage from freshets,
also add to the county expenses. The ex 7 l
penditures of the county will necessarily
be heavy for a few years to come, as the
voters haVe decided to. have a County
Poor House, and the purchasing of a 3,ro
per site and erecting the necessary
buildings will involve considerable ex
pense. Added to which is the amount
required to pay for the bridge across the
Susquehanna river at ar glis place. The
Commissioners will pitbably issue bends
for the amount of $:10,040 or *46 WO, pay
able within five years, to
. ineet the extra
'4rdinairy expenses, thus
.clO.l - ibuting the
burden of taxatioulor that term. -
IT would be well for the excited
and hysterical Republicans who are
just now engaged in the work of de
faming and depreciating all the pos
sible nominees for the Presidency, ex
cepting their especial favorite, to re
member'that we shall need every Re
publican vote to ensure success.
There are many :irdcnt friends of
each of the candidates, whom it is
not necessary to exasperate and pos
sibly alienate, in the desire and effort
to get up a " boom" for anybody.
There is no disposition, we are glad
to see, to - point out the confessedly
weak points in BLAINes candidature.
But SHERMAN is unjustly and unfair
ly assailed, in a manner which is
culated to do an injury to the ItePub- i
lican party, aS it may disgust and
drive ! from our ranks, the business
men of the country, who approve
and applaud Secretary ShEUMAN'S
efforts for a sound currency, and l his
upright and economical Management
of the vast machine of i which-he is'
the head. The Treasury department
has never been so well conducted..
Integrity and economy have been in
troduced anti enforced in all its wide
spread branches. Dishonesty and
corruption and inefficiency are ban
ished, and the, management and
operations are as near perfect as it is
,possible for such a huge department
-of the government to be. Then it
would be well for some ;of the hot
headed and over-zealous partizans of
the candidates to consider that there,
are very many people throughout the
country, who revere the name of,
Gen. GRANT,''and are, grateful for the
inestimable services pe has rendered
the country. They have an idea
(perhaps an over-estimate) that the
Nation could never repay him for his
grand achievements in suppressing
the Rebellion. This feeling is more
universal and has a deeper hold than
is generally believed. It will not do
tor the Republican party either in
word or deed to disparage the reputa
tion of Gen. Gamer, or even make
itself obnoxious to the charge of in
gratitude. Not that is necessary for
his fame ii, that he, should again be
chosen qiresident,' but there are
many Republicans who desire such a
result, ano while the possibilities and
proprietiei - are being canvassed, it
should be done solely with reference
to the future peace and prosperity of
the country, and the success of the
Republican party. We can't get on
without the votes of those who think
Gen. gasigt the greatest general, and
the wisest gateman of the day, and
.who:consider that the country not
only owes it to him , to again place
him in the Presidential chair, , but
that bels the only candidate named,
who can be elected—or if elected will
be certain to be inaugurated. This
insane talk:about bolting and disre
garding;instructions;and m mufactur
ing public: sentiment to excuse it, is
a boomerang wh:ch however skillful
ly thrown, will return to injure the
sender. Fair:play is .a jewel, in poll.
tics as in everything else, and sub
terfuge, evasion and unfairness 'will
certainly meet, with popular disap•
• robation.

and reprehensible endeavors to create

We are authorized to say that,there

be his personal preferences, we do
not believe he would disregard the
instructions of the body to which he
owes his position,. The will of 'the
Republicans of the Fifteenth district
is that instructions should be obeyed,
and if they were unanimous for any
candidate; they would not expect a
delegate to violate the instructions
which ,are a legitimate and binding
part of the obligation resting upon

which applauds the vi 4 dation of posit
tive instructions may • do- for the
1 Press but it. will hardly answer for
the right-minded Republicans of this
district. They have decided prefer
ences, perhaps, for candidates, but
they have also equally decided no
tions as to political ethics and fair
dealing. It is the province of any
delegate to decline a service which is
agr.inst his personal partialities or
prejudices, but he has no right to set
himself as a higher authority than
the power which creates Aim. In
plain words; a delegate 'who accepts
an appointment at the hands of a
Convention, is morally bound to
carry outs the 'expressed instructions
of that body, and every honest man
will do so; or if he cannot conscien
tiously, wilt retire and. allow some
one not of his way of thinking to
take his place.
ENGINEER J AMES
. WORRAL was ap
pointed to exa mine the North Branch of
the Susquehanna from Wilkes-Barre,
the State Line, and report the probable
cost of making the channel of this part of
the stream two feet deep at mean low
water for the purpose of steam naviga
tion. He has made the necessary, sur
veys, and is of the opinion that by means
of jetties and wing dams this can be done
with an outlay of $250,000. Mr. Won-
Rata. has a plan for a great national wa
ter highway. from Buffalo to Baltimore,
which is certainly stupendous, if not fea
sible. The course of this highway is as
follews " Froth Buffalo by way of the
Erie Canal, 156 miles to Montezuma ;
then from Montezuma, by Seneca Lake
and the Chemung atrial, to Elmira; then
by the Cheinang canal and the valley of i
the North Branch of the Susquehanna to 1
Northuniberland, and then to Havre de
Grace at the mouth of the Susquehanna.
He would have the locks of the Erie en
larged; so that the boats of 280 tons
could pass, and would have the remain
der of the route made to accommodate
.boats of this size. - Eighty or ninety locks
woultbbe needed on the new route. The
cost of this national highway, he modest
ly places at V 5,000,000, just one hundred
,1
times the sum needed for the work he
was instructed to report upon. Of this
sum $5,750,000 would be smut from 'la..'
vre de Grace to the mouth PT the Junia
ta ; nearly $4.000,000 from this point to !
Northumberland ;13,250,000 from North )
utnberlaad to the mouth of the Che
truing ; from this point o'o Seneca, $2,750,-
000, and from Seneca lake to Buffalo,
through Montezuma, $2,000,000. Addi
tioris fpr various purposes raise the cost
to the total given above. The distance
from Buffalo to tidewater by this route is
548 miles, and this distance can be so re
duced that it will. be only twenty miles
greater than the distance from -Buffalo to
New York by the Erie canal." This plan
agrees with ours so far as making use of
the waters of the great lakes to fill the
channel of the Susquehanna, but we
would Inot take it such a round-a 7 bout
way as be *poses. We believe Mr.
WounaLt. hatOeen at some time inter
ested in the Fish Commission, and the
want of success in the endeavor to allow
the shad to reach the upper waters of the
Susquehanna, makes us doubt if we shall.
ever see steamboats navigating our wa
ters. Give us shatrand then ace shall be- .
lieve steamboats possible.
. TlMlcli will be great difficulty in recon
ciling the views of the President and the
Senate as regards the selection of the
Census Supervisors, so that it may be
some time before the machinery for tak
ing the Census is perfeCted. ThiS is the
tenth decennial - enumeration of the pop
ulation of the United .States and the
fourth full industrial census. The inten
tion is to have both more fully and thor
oughly done than formerly.. It- begins
the first of June, and the whole is to be
taken in one month, which involves a
very great subdivision of labor. In Great
Britain the census is is taken in a single' .
Jay, but in this widely-extended and
sparsely populated country, this is impos
sible. It will expedite the work of the en
umerators if people generally will be pre
pared readily tolanswer all the inquiries
which will be propounded. The penal
ties fur obstriicting the fmnsiii-takers are
severe. The law reads "All . parader
above the_ age of. twenty-one rasa who
shall refuse to fatedsh Uti information
required by the strpervitair or enumerator
shall forfeit and pay a ram not exceeding
$lOO, to be recovered sttictiOn of debt.
Presidents, direetx" . or - Other officials of
private corporation! who - refuse to fur
nish information
_required of them, are
made liable to a penalty not to exceed
$10,000." The compensation of each of
the enumerators is quoted as follows :
Two cents for each living inhabitant;
two cents for each death reported ; ten
cents for each farm': fifteen cents for each
rounufactory, which is to be in full fOr all
services, and no mileage or traveling.
The subdivision assigned to each enume
rator must not exceed 4,000 ivaabitants.
Tint Republican National Convention
will (=NIA of 1'59 delegates, anti d majnr
ityonly is required to nominate._ Tro
delegates are allowed for each Ilepresen- .
tative and Senator . in Congress„ and two
from each Territory and the District
Columbia: There are 293 -Representa
tives, 76 Senators, eight Territories and
the District, and that) number doubled
makes VA. The Democratic National
Convention cOnsists of only 738,delegates
who are entitled to a vote. The District
of Columbia delegates and those from
Territories are. merely honorary ; they
are not permitted to_vote. The rule now
iu force holding DeMocratic Coventions
requires a two-thirds tote to nominate
candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent, but it will be within the, power of
the con.ipg Convention to abolish it and
substitute the majority rule if it sees tit.
There has been objection urged to the I
two-thirds rule in
_every Convention for
years. The Convention of 1876 ad4pted
a resolution favoring the adoption of the
majority rule in future.and left. the -mat
ter for the neat convention to take up
and enforce. It is more than likely, though,
that the same influences which have
heretofore operated against the change
will be potent enough in the coming Con
vention to prevent its being made. In
the Republican Convention it will require
379 to nominate, while in the Democratic
-unless the rule shall be changed—it will
require 492.

Saturday was St—Valentine's Day, and

ble shapes, sizes and designs from the
roughly printed caricature to the emboss,

Atlantic City has become a favorite
place of resort for inialids at all seasons
of the year. Unlike most sea-aide water
ing places, a largenumber of invalids visit
it during the winter to receive the benefit
of the-sea-air. Its proximity to this city
makes it a'-favorite abiding place for Phil
adelphians, as the time between the two
places is but ninety minutes, and busi
ness men go to and 'from their business
almost as expeditiously and more easily
than if they lived at a railroad station
outside of the city. The Camden and At
lantic Railroad Company is expending an
immense amount of money in preparing
for the anticipated rush to the sea-shore
next summer. They - will providelraprov
ed cars and swift, and more frequent
trains.. ,Elaborately furnished parlor cars
are placed On express Laing, and their
regular passenger, cars, with their high,
well ventilated ceilings, and superior up
holstering are exceedingly comfortable.
As the season advances, and Pavel in
creases, trains are from time to time add
ed to the schedule, and the full tide of bus
iness in the summer, besides numerous
other regular trains, employs five daily
through express trains. These express
trains make the - trip, sixty miles, without
stoppage, in ninety minutes. The spe
cial care in the management of the road
is exhibited the regularity with which
they run, the close connection arranged
for and maintained with other companies
by Which transfers may -be made without
delay, and the
. almost entire absence of
solidus accident is the history of the
road. For several years the company
have made -an effort to meet .travel from
points beyond their own line, and the
schedules aro now always arranged with
the view as far as possible of serving, by
close connection. This company is spe
cially a paimenger railway company, and
to satisfy this special trade, it is constant
ly adding in every part and branch of its
business, facilities of the very first class.
Indeed, we believe that in the full and
complete equipment, and the manage
ment-and coudnet of the line, this road
has no equal among lines running to the
sea coast.
V. E. PIOLLET
WASHINGTON LETTER.
When Congressman Reed, of Maine,
said in the House, in response to a disloy
al sentiment of Goode, of Virginia, that
"The great benefit yet to accrue to the
country would be the extirpation of the
Democratic party, which is to occur the
next time the people of the United States
have a chance to vote upon it," put into
a very small space a sentiment very large
with truth. And this Congress is justi
fying the opinion, and helping to furnish
cause for an overwhelming majority next
fall. It seems now almost impossible to
avoid the conclusion that the Democratic
managers are trying to extend the, session
far into the summer in the hope solely of
bevies a better opportunity to manufac
ture political capital, as the Republicans
are wise and determined, they will fail in
that scheme.
The friends of General Grant will not
,gain anything by reporting that Senator
Blaine has consented to go on the Grant
ticket as second. Everybody knows that
the Senator is a leading candidate for the
first place, and that in fact, he 'is gaining
faster than any other, and such inven
tions as these will not hurt him or help
anybody else. Ills friends assert that he
looks upon the report as an evidence of
Weakness in the opposition to him, and as
very favorable to his chances for the
Presidency.
Secretary Schurz might do a very
graceful, and a good thing, by reinstat
ing Mr. Smith as Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. Smith was a good officer, and
an honest man, but Schurz kicked
him oat to give place to Hoyt, but it
proved to be reform backwards. - '
